It's that time of year again. Perhaps you got engaged over the holidays or maybe you started planning sometime last year. Either way, you've probably found yourself at or plan to attend at least one wedding show. The first one of the year was held at the Seattle's Convention Center. John and I attended along with friends Steve Smith and Larry Legler from Steve Smith Photography. We wanted to take some pictures to share with you, however it was asked that NO photography was taken during the Expo (even though not everyone complied). :(
John and I make it a point to stay connected with what is hot and new...what better way to do that then to attend one of the largest wedding conventions in Washington!?! We had an amazing time and even ran into a few of our own brides! We also had a chance to meet and talk with some beautiful new bride-to-be's as well as some awesome vendors! In fact, the entire afternoon we met with so many vendors that it dawned on me...Wedding Shows are not just for upcoming brides. They really are an awesome place to network! We had the pleasure of running into a few people we already knew like Bethany Little, wedding coordinator at Lord Hill Farms in Snohomish, Wa and Jim Fore with Foremost DJ who DJ'd our wedding just over a year ago and whom we very highly recommend to all of our brides. We also made lots of new connections with a few vendors we would like to work with in the future.
It's always awesome to keep up on what's new and what's hot. It's something our brides have come to expect from us and it's something that we just love to provide! In fact...we are heading to Las Vegas in March for 5 days to attend the WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) convention & Trade show where we will have the awesome opportunity of meeting any and all vendors that specialize and deal in the Wedding Photography industry! I mean we are talking about 5 full days of seminars, classes, demonstrations you name it, it's there! This will be our first time attending and we can hardly wait!
John and I are really looking forward to what 2008 brings our way! Congratulations to all of you newly engaged couples out there...and if you haven't booked your photographer yet...you may want to think about getting a jump on that as well as booking your other main vendors. It's very common (especially after these expo's) for your most important (and popular) vendors to book solid right around this time of year! Even we are already 1/2 way booked for this year! So don't wait...because you may not have as much time as you think. ;-)
